Binding array parameters to webServiceOutput in a workflow

Question

 

 In Windows Workflow Foundation and using VS2005, I have an interface method (workflow) that Im exposing as a web service:

 Person[] getPersonList(Criteria)

 Within the webServiceOutputActivity, I would like to bind the parameter 'ReturnValue' to a defined public variable of Person[] type in my workflow class. Instead of getting the binding dialog, I get a "Person Collection Editor" dialog. This dialog doesnt appear to allow me to bind my variable to the WS output. Again, Person is a serializable type. How do I return my Person array from this workflow web service?

 Hoping to hear from Joel,

 Chris

 

Answer 1

Sorry - I'm not Joel but ...

Click on the blue icon in the property grid next to the property name.  The reason you are getting the collection editor is because of the UITypeEditor associated with collections.  You could override this - but it would mean manually modifying your proxy class- which is probably not worth it.

 That was it. Thanks Jon.
